Looking for fitted (saddle shaped) quilted dressage pads? Where to find?

For months, I’ve been searching for fitted quilted dressage pads with no luck. I used to buy Toklat’s Classic fitted pad but can’t find them anywhere anymore. I don’t want anything with extra padding, therapeutic, whatever - just a simple fitted pad. I don’t care about the color. I’ve tried taking a square pad and altering it myself but wasn’t pleased with the results. Anyone know where to buy a simple fitted quilted dressage saddle pad?

Sorry wrong link one moment :wink:

And, I really like the Highpoint Advantage pad, but it is semi-contoured http://www.dressageextensions.com/ProductDetail.asp?KEY=2515

VERY nice. Really, REALLY nice.

Do you use them? I have an 18" saddle and need to use the extra long PRI pads. I see these have a cutout wither area and so cannot compare the length of the spine properly. Have you used them with a saddle that long?

I also use a Mattes pad - size large. Mine has the sheepskin trim over the front and the back of the pad. Have you used it with one of those?

Thanks for the link. These are beautiful and look to be of very high quality.

I use their sheepskin ones (so do Carl Hester and Charlotte Dujardin !) They fit my 18" Lazer with long flaps, and the reinforced area under the girth is good too. They also ship to the USA.

I have this one in purple. It’s a very well made, heavy stiff pad. So nice that I wish it was softer and lighter so that it may shrink. My 14.2 Arab is swallowed up in it. The darn thing is so well made that I don’t think it will ever get smaller and softer no matter what I do to it. There’s at least 3" showing around the front and back of my 17" dressage saddle, and the wither relief sticks up a lot. It’s like riding a pad instead of a horse.

I swear that I spent hours several times this year and never came up with any of these. Thank you all so much.

I have nothing to add to this discussion except that I love the word “numnah.”

That is very funny!

I too use these pads and love them. A few years ago I heard someone on here (it could have been Equibrit) :slight_smile: talk about them and I pulled the trigger on a sheepskin one. It’s been through many washings since and still fits great. What I love most about these pads is the very generous whither-relief. My horse has pretty high withers and regular pads just don’t provide enough clearance…these do. I’ve since bought the regular pads to use w/a shimmable half-pad. I get the Large and I’ve used it on both my 18 and 17.5 dressage saddle. I would say they are similar in size to a mattes.

Ps - I was responding to this…
